Magnesium carbonate and Thrombocytopenia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Thrombocytopenia is reported as a side effect among people who take Magnesium carbonate (magnesium), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Allopurinol, and have High blood pressure.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Thrombocytopenia when taking Magnesium carbonate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 1,110 people who have side effects when taking Magnesium carbonate from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
